Monday: Mailbox/What Am I reading?/Musing

Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists. October host  is Gina @ Book Dragon's Lair.

I received the following novels, thanks to the authors/publicists:

Hosted by Sheila @ One Person's Journey Through a World of Books. We discuss the books that we've read and what we're planning to read for the week.

 I finished reading:

 Hush Little Baby by Suzanne Refearn
Thunder Snow by Mimi Foster
The Teacher's Billionaire by Christina Tetreault
Cade by Liliana Hart
Daring Masquerade by Margaret Tanner
Never a Mistress, No longer a Maid by Maureen Driscoll
Shayla's Story by Beverly Preston

 I am in the midst of reading:

The Ares Decision by Robert Ludlum and Kyle Mills
The Aryavarta Chronicles Book 1: Govinda by Krishna Udayasankar
Gifts Not Yet Given by Kergan Edwards-Stout 
The Edge of Normal by Carla Norton

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Musing Mondays asks you to muse about something related to books each week…

• Maybe you just want to ramble on about something else pertaining to books — let’s hear it, then!

Once upon a time I used to read palms. I have a HUGE collection of books pertaining to that. Lately, I am thinking of giving those away. I find that there are many takers. Even from those who never EVER read anything! Interesting!!

    The title Thunder Snow grabbed my attention - we get that from time to time here in the winter. :) I will have to check the book out, and tell my romance book loving friend about it as well. Have a great week!

    Hi Gautami,

    You have some great books this week and it was difficult to choose just a couple for my own list.

    I did take a look at the John Grisham, however I have found his writing to be a little 'samey' of late, so may give him a short rest.

    I love the sound of the new series debuted by Lisa Cutts and as I have never read any Asian crime writing, I am defnitely including Shamini Flint, although I might try to go back to the start of the series with this one.

    Thanks for sharing your great finds, I hope that you enjoy them and have a good week.

    Yvonne.
